With the increasing demand for non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments such as Derma Rolling (micro-needling) while we see excellent results there is also a possibility of skin bruising.
Derma roller is quite an amazing beauty tool, especially for skin regeneration. Derma roller treatments reduce stretch marks, fine lines, acne scars, wrinkles, hyper-pigmentation, and sun damage. The side effects associated with dermaroller are usually mild, not serious. These include some redness, dryness, and irritation. However, it can cause some serious side effects if not used properly.
Skin Redness and inflammation are the most common and normal reaction that is experienced when using a derma roller. It usually disappears within a few hours.
Less common side effects are mostly caused by the improper use of dermaroller and may also occur if you have sensitive skin. These include bleeding, acne, pain, bruising, temporary hyperpigmentation, and skin irritation. Using long needles on thin skin or rolling too aggressively can cause temporary bruising.
BruiseMD™ also contains almond oil and a mixture of other ingredients that include skin opacifiers, i.e. molecules that as they absorb into the dermal and subdermal layers make these layers less light transparent thus reducing the apparent bruise discolouration in the skin. The product also contains antioxidants and lipids that help repair the damaged elastin and collagen within the skin. Last, but not least, BruiseMD™ contain a small quantity of menthol to provide a cooling effect, and ultimately a sensory distraction when used during or immediately after medical procedures or on injuries.
BruiseMD™ will prevent and improve the appearance of a bruise – reducing the downtime significantly.
